Democratic New York Senator Hillary Clinton has she entered the race to become President in 2008.

“I’m in, and I’m in to win,” H.C announced in a videotaped message posted on her Web site:

“I’m not just starting a campaign, though, I’m beginning a conversation with you, with America,” she said. “Let’s talk. Let’s chat. The conversation in Washington has been just a little one-sided lately, don’t you think?”

“I have never been afraid to stand up for what I believe in or to face down the Republican machine,” she wrote. “After nearly $70 million spent against my campaigns in New York and two landslide wins, I can say I know how Washington Republicans think, how they operate and how to beat them.”

Senator H.C will be launching a three-day series of Web chats with America’s voters beginning on Monday. She will be visiting Iowa and New Hampshire later in the week.

Fellow Senator Barack Obama unofficially announced his plans to throw his hat into the race for the White House in ‘08. B.O welcomes the competition:

“I welcome her and all the candidates, not as competitors, but as allies in the work of getting our country back on track,” he said in a statement.
